WORLD SERIES OF DRAG RACING RETURNING TO CORDOVA?

According to a report published at kwqc.com, the World Series of Drag Racing will return to Cordova Raceway Park this August.

In the report, and attributing to a Cordova manager, more details will be announced at the track's banquet on February 4. The official date for the return is reportedly August 25 - 26, 2017.

In March 2016, IHRA officials announced the event, which had previously for 62 races been in Cordova would relocate to a larger facility in a "major league" market.

"The transition to MIR moves the historic event to a centralized location that can withstand the growth potential and bring in even more racers, fans, vendors, live music and much more," track owner IRG said in a prepared statement. "The new facility will serve as a fitting showcase for the world’s fastest drag racing and focus on a fan and racer friendly atmosphere."

The event, in many drag racing news reports, failed to support the statement's claims.
